Table 2. Excess regional genetic variance at three suggestive (LOD > 2.0) linkage peaks for height using GIANT summary association statistics.
| Chr. | Peak Marker | LOD Score | Excess genetic variance | 95% CI Upper limit | 95% CI lower limit | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | D11S2000 | 2.74 | −0.0021 | 0.0002 | −0.0044 | 0.07 |
| 12 | D12S1301 | 2.07 | −0.0005 | 0.0014 | −0.0024 | 0.61 |
| 15 | D15S655 | 3.00 | 0.0044 | 0.0072 | 0.0017 | 0.002 |
Regional genetic variance was calculated within +/−7.5 Mb of each peak marker and compared to genome-wide average for regions of equivalent size. P-values are two-sided.
